<p>Use to register a navigation rule with the application by adding an entry to the Faces configuration file.

<p>You apply a navigation rule to specify which view should be displayed, based on the value of an outcome produced by the application's business logic. JSF's <code dir="ltr">NavigationHandler</code> handles the outcomes, and forwards them to views determined by navigation rules and the cases they contain.</p>
<p>JSF 2.0 applications do not require the <code dir="ltr">faces-config.xml</code> file. Navigation rules and the cases they contain can be managed <i>implicitly</i>, meaning that they can be determined by matching outcome values with the names of pages contained in the application's web root.</p>
